Submission + - Vista has a speech recognition security hole
NorbrookC writes: The BBC is reporting that there is a security hole in Vista's speech recognition feature. Apparently, when the feature is activated, it is possible for a sound file to delete files and folders.
Microsoft doesn't seem too worried about it. FTA:
Microsoft said the exploit was "technically possible" but there was no need to worry.
The firm has pointed out that in order for the flaw to be exploited the speech recognition feature would need to be activated and configured and both microphone and speakers would have to be switched on.
